  • The Czech state, formerly known as Bohemia (Čechy), was formed in the late 9th century as Duchy of Bohemia, at that time under the dominance of the powerful Great Moravian Empire. After the 10th century the territory of Slovakia was gradually integrated into the Kingdom of Hungary, which itself became part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire or Habsburg Empire. After the fall of the Empire in 907, the centre of power was transferred from Moravia to Bohemia under the Přemyslids. In 1004, the duchy was formally recognized as a part of the Holy Roman Empire, rising to the status of Kingdom of Bohemia in 1212. During the rule of the Přemyslids and their successors, the Luxembourgs, Bohemia expanded in size until reaching its greatest territorial extent in the 14th century.

abstract
  • The Czech state, formerly known as Bohemia (Čechy), was formed in the late 9th century as Duchy of Bohemia, at that time under the dominance of the powerful Great Moravian Empire. After the 10th century the territory of Slovakia was gradually integrated into the Kingdom of Hungary, which itself became part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire or Habsburg Empire. After the fall of the Empire in 907, the centre of power was transferred from Moravia to Bohemia under the Přemyslids. In 1004, the duchy was formally recognized as a part of the Holy Roman Empire, rising to the status of Kingdom of Bohemia in 1212. During the rule of the Přemyslids and their successors, the Luxembourgs, Bohemia expanded in size until reaching its greatest territorial extent in the 14th century. Following the Battle of Mohács in 1526, the Kingdom of Bohemia was gradually integrated into the Habsburg Monarchy as one of its three principal parts, alongside the Archduchy of Austria and the Kingdom of Hungary. The Bohemian Revolt (1618–20) against the catholic Habsburgs led to the Thirty Years' War, after which the monarchy consolidated its rule, re-imposed Catholicism, and adopted a policy of Germanization. With the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire in 1806, the Bohemian kingdom became part of the Austrian Empire. In the 19th century the Czech lands became the industrial powerhouse of the monarchy and the core of the Republic of Czechoslovakia. Czechoslovakia was formed in 1918 following the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire after World War I, and comprised the historical Czech regions of Bohemia, Moravia and Czech Silesia, as well as Slovakia and Carpathian Ruthenia. With the Czech lands having been the industrial powerhouse of the monarchy and the core of the new republic, it was one of the most industrialized countries in the interwar era. After 1933, Czechoslovakia remained the only democracy in central Europe. In October 1938, World War II started with the invasions and annexations of Czechoslovakia by Nazi Germany, Hungary and Poland. A Czechoslovak government-in-exile was established in Paris and later in London, while Czechoslovak military units that had escaped the occupation fought under their own commanders as part of Allied forces in Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. More than six hundred thousand Czechoslovak citizens died in the war. By 1945, the country was liberated by the United States (the Czech Lands) and the Soviet Union (Slovakia). Czechoslovakia's former democratic constitution was restored and the 1946 elections resulted in a majority for the former democratic political parties, but due to Soviet pressure, the popularity of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia and some disillusionment with the West for not having intervened strongly enough in 1938 they had to accept a Declaration of Neutrality in 1947, in which they agreed that the Czechoslovak Republic would become permanently neutral. As a result, Czechoslovakia lay in the grey zone between the Western countries and the Soviet Union and became an epicenter for spying activities. Due to economic support from both the U.S. Marshall Plan (European Recovery Program, ERP) and the Czechoslovak-Soviet Treaty of Friendship from 1948, the country enjoyed prolonged economic recovery and growth beginning in the early 1950s. Slovak aspirations for greater autonomy played an important role in the political environment during the 1960s and 1970s. The Slovaks, having never been completely satisfied as the Czechs with the nation created in 1918 because they felt dominated by the numerically superior Czech nationals, would with the election of the Slovak Social Democrat Alexander Dubček as Prime Minister. His reform movement resulted in the 1974 constitutional amendments, which redefined Czechoslovakia as a federation of two equal states and nations, the Czech nation and the Slovak nation, and increased the responsibilities of the constituent republics. Today, Czechoslovakia is a republic with advanced, high income economy and high living standards. The UN ranks the country 14th in the inequality-adjusted human development. Czechoslovakia also ranks as the eleventh-most peaceful country, while achieving strong performance in democratic governance and infant mortality. It is a pluralist parliamentary representative democracy with membership in the European Union, NATO, the OECD, the OSCE, and the Council of Europe.
